Amazing Transmog Survivor Contest – Where I Start Snuffin’ Torches

“Hi, this is Jeff Probst and welcome back to Survivor…in our last episode…”

*THWAP*

Wrong show, go away Jeff.

So where was I? Right. Round One. You know, choosing who gets the old immunity idol/volvo/golden murloc britches was not hard enough on it’s own…I realized along the way that the ones I didn’t choose had a 40% chance of being eliminated. Wow…nothing to worry about there. Ugh. So, I know you all want to know in the end who I chose. I mean, that’s why we’re here. With just a little more preface I would like to say that I easily could have chosen 4-5. They were all great, but there were a handful that I debated on. In the end, immunity went to…

Katami

This is one of the outfits that caught me the moment I saw it. And I kept coming back to it. So in the end I had to reward it accordingly. Of note, this was one of only three males in the entire first round. Am I sexist? Heck no. Just observing. *sigh* Yes, I’m stalling. It’s my contest. Doesn’t mean I want to eliminate folks. So how does one randomly eliminate someone? Well, this is a WoW contest, so I figured I may as well do it there. I took the remaining contestants and did the old /roll 1-X (where x was the remaining number of contestants). I have a screenshot, but hopefully my word is good enough. In order of the evil RNG…

See why I second guess these supposed great ideas of mine? I mean it when I say I’m glad you entered and that your outfits were awesome…but the RNG has snuffed your torches for this go around. What’s worse, is that I now realize my immunity foam crown means something as it nearly went on (at least) one of the eliminated competitors. Well, there’s no easy way to move on, but I must do just that. Round two officially starts now and the remaining eleven need the details (as do our viewers I suppose).

Round Two: Mortal KombatIf you aren’t familiar with the classic fighting video game, it’s a much more graphic version of Street Fighter for all purpose. It’s spawned two movies (that I’m aware of) and has a plethora of selectable characters, or cast members. So for round two, participants are to choose a toon and basically create a costume emulating one of the characters from in the game. Perhaps your Goblin will put on his best Scorpion or Sub-Zero costume…perhaps your Night Elf will grab a fan and look like Princess Kitana. The choice is yours and any character is fair game. Speaking of which, the full list can be found here. As is the norm, the outfit must be a proper endgame Mog. You have until the 17th to submit your entry. Results will be posted on the 18th, unless all entries are in earlier than that (but honestly, no need to rush). Good luck!

Oh darn. I, too, was a big fan of (at least) one of those entries that was eliminated. I hope some of them will still play along even though they are officially out of the running, because they have some great ideas!

A very deserving win for Katami, and some sad departures from the Isle of Transmog (???). I was also a big fan of several of the eliminated entries. Oh, RNG…

That said, I am *so* glad I made it to the next round, because I *love* MK. My sister and I played MK3 a lot as kids (and despite all claims of video game moral panic turned out alright). I’m kind of hoping I can pull of a Sindel costume in game…

Oh wow, congrats on winning the first immunity torch Katami and GL to the rest of the contestants. OK, now I kind of wish I had entered but at least I can sit back and enjoy the rest of the show. Hugs to those who were pushed out of the first round.
